For the second day in a row, inspectors from the NYC Buildings Department were out in force on Tuesday in Flatbush and Boro Park, as they enforced the latest COVID-19 restrictions placed on local businesses by NY Governor Cuomo. The summonses stated they were charged with “failure to comply with the governor’s executive orders”. Many store-owners reported being told different things by the inspectors. NYC Councilman Kalman Yeger told YWN “The conflicting advice and opinions from these workers and treating similar businesses very differently is exactly why our community feels we are being unfairly targeted by the city and state.” Many angry store-owners and pedestrians confronted the inspectors on 13th Avenue.

Seventy-six people were arrested and more than 30 buildings and businesses were damaged when a downtown celebration turned chaotic after the Los Angeles Lakers won their 17th National Basketball Association championship, police said Monday. Causes for the arrests included failure to disperse, vandalism and assault on a police officer.

A leader of protests against new coronavirus restrictions in Brooklyn was ordered Monday to stay away from a journalist who was chased and trapped by a crowd. Judge Edwin Novillo told Heshy Tischler, who is charged with inciting people to riot and unlawful imprisonment of a journalist, that he would be subject to getting arrested again if he had any contact — or had someone else get into contact on his behalf, including through social media — with Jewish Insider journalist Jacob Kornbluh Tischler, a City Council candidate and activist in the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Borough Park, had been arrested in connection with his actions during an Oct. 7 street protest.

Heshy Tischler was taken into NYPD custody, Sunday night, just an hour after Simchas Torah ended. Tischler announced on Friday that he was informed that he would be arrested on Monday morning, and was told to turn himself in to the 66 Precinct. Sources tell YWN that police feared that a large crowd would show up at the NYPD 66 Precinct on Monday when he would turn himself in, and decided to preempt that.

Heshy Tischler announced on social media that he has been informed that he will be arrested on Monday morning after Simchas Torah. “I just got a call from the precinct,” Tischler rambles in the video below. “They will be arresting me Monday morning. I’ll be taken in for inciting riot. Jacob Kornbluh, who harassed me the night before, that they don’t want to file charges for as of yet, he harassed me. They are telling everyone that I incited a riot, and Mr Kornbluh, the D.A., is going to be arresting me, on Monday morning to the 66 Precinct….” “Mr Kornbluh is a very terrible bad man”, Tischler continued. Tischler also apologized to Mrs DebLasio for calling her a “very bad name”.

In the wake of coronavirus outbreaks at multiple Israeli yeshivas discovered right before the end of the zeman, about a thousand yeshivah bochurim who are positive for the coronavirus are spending Sukkos in Yeshivas Chevron, which was converted into a coronavirus hotel. Yeshivas Chevron, one of the largest Israeli yeshivos, was one of the few which managed to reach the end of the zeman with no coronavirus cases among its bochurim. The Chevron bochurim all went home on Motzei Yom Kippur and the campus was prepared to house hundreds of bochurim from other yeshivos who were positive for the coronavirus. Below, bochurim from Rashi Yeshivah, currently staying at Chevron, sing and dance together on Chol Hamoed. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

Eitan Haber, a former journalist and adviser to Yitzhak Rabin who tearfully announced the death of the assassinated Israeli prime minister in 1995, died Wednesday at the age of 80. Yediot Achronot, the Israeli newspaper where Haber spent much of his career, said he died from cancer. Haber covered military affairs for Yediot for 25 years and also appeared on Israeli TV and radio before becoming an adviser to Rabin, who was defense minister, in 1985. He later served as Rabin’s bureau chief and speech writer after he was elected prime minister in 1992. When Rabin was gunned down by a Jewish ultra-nationalist at a peace rally on Nov. 4, 1995, it was Haber who announced the news of his death outside a Tel Aviv hospital.

President Donald Trump vowed Thursday not to participate in next week’s debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden after organizers announced it will take place virtually because of the president’s diagnosis of COVID-19. “I’m not going to do a virtual debate” with Biden, Trump told Fox News, moments after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the changes due to Trump’s diagnosis. That cast serious doubts on whether the event will go forward, even as Biden’s campaign vowed that its candidate will participate. “Vice President Biden looks forward to speaking directly to the American people,” deputy Biden campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a statement. It is more evidence that the race remains defined by the virus, even as Trump has attempted to underplay it.
